In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.

  • The History of Gaelic Football and the Gaelic Athletic Association Jaime Orejan, Phd, Elon University
    The History of Gaelic Football and the Gaelic Athletic Association Jaime Orejan, PhD, Elon University INTRODUCTION Towards the end of the nineteenth century some people feared that the Irish games could face extinction. There was concern that the English games would take over Ireland and the native games would fade away. The establishment of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in 1884 was the defining moment in the history of Ireland’s native games. Today the GAA regulates four distinctive games. The most popular are Gaelic football and hurling; the others are camogie and handball. Camogie is a field game played by women while handball is like squash without the rackets. The state of health of the GAA and the level of support for the games is a stunning endorsement of the vision of its founders, and the games are enjoyed by millions of people – players and spectators – every year (Healy, 1998). The Gaelic games of football, hurling, camogie, and handball are far removed from the glittering ranks of global sport. In fact, large figure endorsement deals and international stardom do not entice Gaelic players. In a world focused on millionaire sports professionals, these Gaelic games provide a remarkable example of thriving amateur sports. Amateur in their character, Gaelic games exist through the bonds of identity they forge among participants and devotees. Founded out of national pride, sustained through the lean times with that same emotion, few things run so deeply through the core of Irish society than the connection with place and home which the games provide. In a sporting world where players change allegiances for the price of a shoe and satellite television holds fans to ransom, there remains in Gaelic games vital proof of a purer ideal - amateurism, and love of the game (Prior, 1997).

The descriptive analytical design was used to accomplish the study. The study was conducted in late 2008 on a random sample of 257 students of GSSs of district Mianwali in Pakistan. Data were collected through administrating a questionnaire. Students’ opinions were sought on four compatible indicators of their effectual development through sports activities. Results revealed that sports activities help students to learn various social norms, improve reminiscence skills, respect towards others, self-discipline, and invigorating effects on their mind. Sports activities hardly encourage students to utilize their mental potential and control their antagonistic moods. The effect of sports
